Significantly, these debates unfold in the context of his particular reading of the modern philosophical tradition from the German enlightment to the present period.\u003cbr\u003e In this original interpretation, David Rasmussen provides both guide and critique to the later Habermas encountered in the context of the best of the critical literature that has emerged in recent years. \u003ci\u003eReading Habermas\u003c\/i\u003e argues that Habermas' concept of modernity provides the context for the theory of language as well as his approaches to law and ethics.\u003cbr\u003e This book, as its title implies, offers a reading. It explores philosophical options chosen in the light of other, rejected readings. It is a distinctive, readable contribution to the current controversy surrounding the most recent developments in critical theory.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e1.
